  2. 11. Mechanism of action of autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism gene mutations

    Author : Anna Sandebring; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parkinson Disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder. Although PD is a largely sporadic disease, several genes has been linked to familial forms of PD. This thesis focuses on the mechanism of function of the Autosomal Recessively Juvenile Parkinsonism (AR-JP) associated genes parkin, PTEN induced kinase 1 (PINK1) and DJ-1. READ MORE

  4. 12. Striatal adaptations in experimental parkinsonism and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

    Author : Tim Fieblinger; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Striatum; Parkinson’s disease; L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia; ERK1 2; mGluR5; homeostatic plasticity; SPN; 2‑Photon microscopy;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the loss of dopamine (DA) producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), resulting in typical motor symptoms. DA replacement with L-DOPA is the standard therapy for PD. READ MORE

  6. 14. The non-human primate as a model of human parkinsonism

    Author : Alison McCormack; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Parkinson s disease; substantia nigra; aging; neuromelanin; MPTP; alpha-synuclein; levodopa; dyskinesia; methamphetamine;

    Abstract : The motor deficits seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the result of a loss of catecholaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra (SN) and the associated loss of striatal dopamine. Clinical signs become evident once striatal dopamine levels decline by at least 70-80% and nigral cell numbers by 40%, and worsen with increased duration of the disease. READ MORE

  7. 15. Mechanisms of motor and non-motor complications in experimental parkinsonism

    Author : Carina Plewnia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD), one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, is classically characterized by the progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and by the emergence of cardinal motor symptoms including rigidity, tremor and bradykinesia. PD treatment relies on pharmacological dopamine replacement, which is the most effective therapy to alleviate motor symptoms. READ MORE
